Good points, but highly repetitive

A couple of chapters in I was thinking, this is some great stuff! But later while finishing the 2nd to the last chapter, I was exasperated, I didn't think I could finish the book (but I forced myself to). I felt like I was hearing the same stories over and over. This book could have been half as long and delivered same or more value.

good to a point

I was really enjoying the content until I got to the point where resources and tools were recommended. I was disappointed to find that the tools were either very basic (free) or more detailed but at a cost (one priced at $500). The book seemed to take on a more marketing approach for the authors consulting services as opposed to a DIY help book. I also felt that the publishers were dragging content out in the last few chapters - mostly anecdotal and very generalist.

One of the top 5 business books I've ever read...

Well researched, well written, insightful and engaging. One of the few books I'll read twice.

It's OK. Good insight but WAY too drawn out.

What was most disappointing about Liz Wiseman and Stephen Covey - foreword ’s story?

The findings were interesting but it was too long. Felt like the content was stretched for the purpose of publishing. This would have sufficed as an HBR article.

Mandatory Reading for Leaders

If you could sum up Multipliers, Revised and Updated in three words, what would they be?

Understand Leadership, Sucka!

What did you like best about this story?

It provides a framework for leading different personalities and enabling their inherent talents.

What about Liz Wiseman and John Meagher ’s performance did you like?

Clearly presented and fluent. Honestly, I did not realize it was the author since many audible books are professional voice actors.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Turning opposition to symbiosis

Any additional comments?

This book discusses Multipliers and their opposite, euphemistically named Accidental Diminishers. The Multipliers portion seems obvious, while the Deminisher side was eye-opening. Assuming the readers are mentally stable, invested in their company, and have a genuine desire to lead a successful team, applying the principles to your workplace will improve the culture.

My only negative is the excessive "name dropping" and repeated mention of accolades. We purchased the book, you've already sold us and you are awesome! Don't try so hard ;)

Great book to aid in my journey as a leader

This was a great book for me! I could see both my multiplier and my diminisher tendencies and it has already helped me to see the genius in those around me!

Incredible Resource for Leaders

This is an incredible book to read/listen to if you're looking at building an effective team, developing your leadership style, trying to work with a difficult leader, etc.

Liz Wiseman (author) reads the book herself and I think that only increases the delivery of the content.

I can't profess to be the type who reads 100 books a year; I probably manage 25-35, but this book has been the best book I've read in this past year.

Must Listen, digest and use

I listened to the first Multipliers book and shared it with friends. I saw the direct use of it in a business owner with whom I shared. For me this version hit home even more directly. Easily it may have been the second listen to certain principles or a different place in life. For anyone in any position, working or family will benefit whether you have listened to the first or this is your first. in fact listen as many times as it takes to practice and use. More often than not, as life changes, so does the relevance of different chapters. I found the new chapter about managing diminishers to be a perfect lesson for coaching other friends and family.

Amazing read! A must have for anyone in business

What did you love best about Multipliers, Revised and Updated?

The content is current, easy to digest and even easier to implement

What does Liz Wiseman and John Meagher bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

This audible has an easy flow and by hearing the authors read it to me, I feel as if I am face to face or learning in their classroom.

Any additional comments?

What an inspirational book. I have already begun to change the way I lead my team. It has opened me up to limitless opportunities. There are many great lessons to be learned here and I felt as though the author was holding my hand and helping me to make effective change every step of the way.
